It is similar in layout to the Mk.I, but the control system has been changed to conventional three-axis, with stick and rudder pedals.

The Skyseeker Mk.III is in effect a single-seat version of the Mk.II, using the same control system and having very similar dimensions and only slightly lower empty weight. Apart from the seating arrangements, the most obvious difference is the use of 16 inch (41 cm) main wheels, as on the Mk.I, rather than the 20 inch (51 cm) type fitted to the Mk.II

This machine is supplied in kit form and the manufacturer says it takes 30h to build. Rigging time is listed as 30 min.

Floats, skis and instruments are available as on the Mk.I, while the Rotax engine can be replaced at customer's request by a 215 cc single-cylinder Cuyuna of 20hp.
